Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In Argentina there are no reports on Aspergillus fumigatus fumagillin-producing strains. In this study we describe the isolation and mycotoxin production capacity of ten A. fumigatus strains isolated from farm and clinical samples. Farm strains were isolated from milk samples taken from dairy cows in Córdoba province, some of which were associated with subclinical mastitis. A culture medium was defined to optimize fumagillin production and a detection method was developed by HPLC chromatography. It is known that in addition to the host immune status, strain virulence is a fundamental characteristic that will determine its pathogenicity and, in this sense, fumagillin is considered to be among the virulence factors. In the present work, all the strains tested for the production of fumagillin were able to synthesize it, highlighting that the strain A. fumigatus RC2243, from a milk sample from a cow with clinical mastitis, was the most productive. The existence of fumagillin-producing strains represents a potential risk of mycotoxins being transferred to raw milk, constituting a public health risk. En Argentina no existen reportes sobre cepas de Aspergillus fumigatus productoras de fumagilina. En este trabajo se describe el aislamiento y la producción de dicha micotoxina por 10 cepas, provenientes del medioambiente rural y aisladas de muestras clínicas. Las cepas de origen rural fueron aisladas de vacas lecheras en tambos de la provincia de Córdoba, y algunas de esas cepas se asociaron a casos de mastitis subclínica. Se definió la composición de un medio de cultivo para optimizar la producción de fumagilina y se desarrolló un método de cromatografía HPLC para su determinación. Es conocido que, además del estado inmunitario del huésped, la virulencia de la cepa es una de las características fundamentales que determinan su potencial patogénico y, en este sentido, la fumagilina es considerada un factor de virulencia. En el presente trabajo todas las cepas estudiadas fueron capaces de sintetizarla y la cepa A. fumigatus RC2243, proveniente de leche de una vaca con mastitis subclínica, se destacó como la cepa más productora. La existencia de cepas productoras de fumagillina representa un riesgo potencial por el pasaje de dicha micotoxina a la leche, lo cual constituye un problema para la salud pública.
